      I interviewed at Ocean State Job Lot

      Interview

      Promoted internally. Started out as sales associate. Interview questions are very basic and simple. They're looking for people with previous retail experience first and wide schedule availability (nights/weekends) second. Meet both these criteria and you stand a good chance of being accepted for part-time work. Full-time hires will require approximately 6 months of prior retail experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      No trick questions. Straight forward, simple questions like "why do you want this job?" "do you have experience?" "are you available nights and weekends?"
